I am not a career politician, nor will I ever be. I am a mother, a loving wife, a local business owner, and a community leader. I am running to serve the people of Brevard and I will work tirelessly to solve the issues facing families in Florida.

I started volunteering with fellow Republicans when I saw the country I love was being divided. I saw career politicians more interested in lining their pockets than leading. So I stepped up to serve my state and my country. I will never abandon the people of my district and I will never put special interest groups above my constituents. I have over 25 years of experience in business and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I know the daily struggles Brevard County residents face and I will fight for every single one of you.

Election Safety and Integrity
Integrity, honesty, and a willingness to fight for the people of Florida. We need leaders who are willing to make tough choices and fight back against corruption and greed.
Integrity, honesty, and a willingness to fight for the people of Florida. I will always be honest and am determined to serve the people of Florida.
Follow the constitution and abide by the desires and wishes of your constituents. Too often we have politicians who are too concerned with their re-election campaigns and not concerned with the needs of the voters. Politicians should be focused on solving problems for the people they represent.
I model myself after my values, religious beliefs, and convictions. I believe that the American people and the people of Florida want genuine, hard-working, and dedicated public servants who serve their best interests. We don't need to copy career politicians, we need fresh voices and new leadership.
